The global medical device reprocessing market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 16.3% from 2017 to 2022, to reach USD 1,754.0 million by 2022. The key factors driving the growth of this market include the low prices of reprocessed devices as compared to new ones and the pressure to reduce the volume of medical waste generated. However, the risk of transmission of surgical site infections associated with the use of reprocessed devices may hinder the growth of the market to a certain extent during the forecast period.

The reprocessing support and services segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR

On the basis of product and service, the medical device reprocessing market is segmented into reprocessing support & service and reprocessed medical devices. The reprocessing support and services segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is mainly due to the growing preference of third-party reprocessing of medical devices by hospitals, clinics, surgical centers, clinical pathologies, and other healthcare organizations, over in-house reprocessing practices.

The catheters segment to dominate the global medical device reprocessing market during the forecast period

Based on the type of medical device, the medical device reprocessing market is further classified into catheters; laparoscopic instruments; biopsy instruments; endoscopy instruments; cables, columns, curves, and cutters; and other reprocessed medical devices. The catheters segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increased utilization of reprocessed cardiology catheters, electrophysiology catheters, and diagnostic catheters in recent years.

The cardiology segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on application, the medical device reprocessing market is further segmented into cardiology; gastroenterology, urology, and gynecology; arthroscopy and orthopedic surgery; and general surgery and anesthesia. During the forecast period, the cardiology segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR. This growth is mainly due to the increased utilization of reprocessed medical devices during cardiology procedures, growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, increasing number of cardiology procedures across the globe, and rising utilization of reprocessed cardiac catheters.

Europe to witness the highest growth during the forecast period (2017-2022)

North America held the largest share of the global medical device reprocessing market in 2016, while Europe is expected to witness the highest growth during 2017 to 2022. Growing healthcare expenditure, rising geriatric population, increasing number of surgical procedures associated with growing prevalence of chronic diseases, and rising awareness about the utilization of reprocessed medical devices are the key factors responsible for the growth of this market in the European region.
